NBEMS FMGE Latest News: The Delhi High Court has directed the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) to treat a court order, along with an affidavit filed by the National Testing Agency (NTA), as the NEET-UG 2019 scorecard of an aspirant appearing for the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE).
Justice Sachin Datta was hearing the plea filed by one Suhana K N, an OBC (NCL) aspirant, who sought urgent relief after being unable to produce her physical NEET-UG 2019 scorecard while applying for the FMGE December 2025 session.
Suhana prayed that the court order, together with the NTA affidavit, be treated as her NEET-UG 2019 scorecard, dispensing with the requirement of furnishing the physical scorecard for the FMGE December 2025 session and future FMGE examinations.
“The NBEMS is directed to treat the affidavit filed by the National Testing Agency, together with the present order, as the NEET-UG 2019 scorecard of the petitioner for all relevant purposes,” the order read.
The high court noted that the NTA had filed an affidavit dated December 26, 2025, confirming that the petitioner had secured 472 marks, obtained a rank of 67,390, and was declared ‘qualified’ in NEET-UG 2019.
One of the petitioner’s counsel, advocate Yatharth Rohila, also referred to earlier orders passed by coordinate benches in December 2025, where similarly placed NEET-UG 2019 aspirants were granted identical relief.
Taking note of these precedents, the court on December 31, 2025, directed that the NTA affidavit and the present order be treated as the petitioner’s NEET-UG 2019 scorecard for all purposes.
